Rather than just beauty, I prefer the vitality that Western Sichuan brings me!

National Highway 317 in Western Sichuan ~ Unlock snow-capped mountains, flower seas, and alien planet landscapes! Weekend escape plan activated 🚀
Seas of Ose flowers, otherworldly stone forests, crimson Buddhist realms... Every snapshot is wallpaper-worthy 📸
A must-recommend for all souls yearning to escape urban chaos! 💨

🛬【Itinerary】
🌼Day 1: Chengdu → Jagenba → Tagong Grassland
✔️7:00 Depart straight to Jagenba! In May, Ose flowers bloom like a sea of clouds 🌸 (Navigate to "Tiwuzhong Village" for fewer crowds)

🌌Day 2: Mo Stone Park → Seda → Return
✔️8:00 Rush to Mo Stone Park for alien planet-style photos 🌑 (Wear bright colors! Overcast days make the stone forests more photogenic)

🧡【Hidden Experiences】
✨Join a bonfire tap dance! Ganzi County hosts nightly Tibetan dance sessions led by local grandmothers (Socially anxious? Just sway along 💃)
✨Stay in a Tibetan village and experience "flower-clock wake-up calls" 🌸—aunties gently tap your window with pear blossoms to wake you
✨Carve sutras on Mani stone piles! Stacking stones for blessings is incredibly healing (Remember to walk clockwise around them 🙏)

This summer, will you be typing away in a cubicle 💻
Or watching flowers bloom beneath snow-capped mountains? 🌸
